Some of us, who are less energetic in the winter, have guilt feelings. We're torn bet-. ween empathy for our fellowman and our personal enjoyment of this "easy" winter. The unusual conditions have not been confined to Canada. In Europe, profes- sional skiers had difficulty finding enough snow for their World Cup competitions. Bul , the most surprised peo- ple this winter were probably the Californians who woke up to snow one morning. Typical- ly, the kids didn't mind.

Storms have come close, but suprisingly they've stop- ped before they've reached our area or they've taken detours. The groundhog didn't see his shadow, and a few robins have.come back. Could we be surprised by an early spring this year? Maybe, but March can be a tricky month. Some of us are still expecting a wintry sur- prise, package before it's over...
